Forecasts

Three Stripe Life (4/5), The Bandit (9/4), Now Where Or When (10/3), Outlaw Peter (8/1), The Higher Road (17/2), Durragh (11/1), Recite A Prayer (14/1), Majavango (33/1), Don't Matter Now (66/1), Some Legacy (80/1), Hessogoodlooking (100/1), Golden Suir (100/1), What'llwedo (125/1), Tipping Away (150/1)

Those with form do not leap off the page, so THREE STRIPE LIFE, a half-brother to 3 winners (including in this sphere) may well be up to the job representing Gordon Elliott. Durragh won't lack for speed if her pedigree is any guide and she's second choice.
